It's kind of hard to get an idea of what cars are on here and whose they are.

My thinking was some sort of grid type gallery with one picture per car, ideally a full shot of it and the model type. Then people can click on on that car and see a gallery, link build thread etc. Perhaps sortable by manufacturer, type/ etc.

A lot of the times when I'm out and about, I'll be like "That's a nice car, wonder if he's on TTI so I can give him props" and I have absolutely no way of knowing without being like "durr saw a subaru today durrr" in the spotted thread.

Ya not so much feeling the rating system, it's not a contest, it's a community.

If I want to message my fellow MR2 owners (for example) for advice, it would be nice to see who those were. Right now we have people starting new threads with "Any MR2 owners herrrooo?". Also it's a nice perk as a supporting member to be part of the TTI stable as it were. If people have multiple cars, by all means post one pic for each. Trim level indication would be a must as there's a large difference between a lancer, lancer raliart, and lancer evo for example.

Also for people thinking about joining the site they can open up the "garage" or whatever and be "like wow", or "look at all those subaru's, yuck!"

I like this idea. It would give people a chance to get some pictures of their cars up and give the photographers on here a bit more work to do (lazy people). Hell we could even figure out way to do video...like the one Shaun did for Tarvis.

But lets be serious for a moment. If we had a rating system you know that everyone would get mad when my car gets all the votes/stars. Its okay guys no need to get butt hurt.

I agree that a "like" system is more suited for this type of this. No feelings hurt and drama started.
